Ok before I hit the hay. You can turn into an animal at will. Your clothes and such won’t turn with you but mass is not conserved so you can turn into something much bigger or smaller. It has to be a real creature that does or has existed and I guess if you want a plant that would be fair game. For me its an albatross. could travel around the world. might even manage to carry something that is not to large if packaged right. I am a bit torn though as the ocean is large so maybe a sea creature would be better. like a killer whale. of course then its not great for getting somewhere inland.
I am already an animal, but it might be fun to be another type of animal.
What do owls see in the night sky?
Raccoon. Still got haaaaaands biiiitches
With the second part of that comment you sure give off raccoon vibes lmao
Orca. Sure it wouldn’t be useful on about 25% of The Earth’s surface, but at least nothing in the ocean is gonna successfully fuck with me.
yeah something flying would be nice
what’s the apex bird?
thats a good question. In my area I feel its the hawk but globally no idea?
Pterodactyl I think
oh man that’s not a bird and not even a dinosaur but I pick pterodactyl
90s Animorphs kid here. I’ve been considering this for 30 years.
And I’m not telling
I always only have 2 answers for this question.
-
House cat. You’ll be pampered and have a comfy life. And unlike a dog, you don’t have to show affection to your owner. You can just not give a shit and they’ll find it adorable.
-
The only other option is some bird that can travel long distances and isn’t easy prey. That way you get to travel.
-
A Rottnest Island Quokka. Highly promiscuous, well fed, no predators and beloved and protected by humans.
I. ah. did not think about sexual aspects.
My thought process when choosing:
What increases happiness? Food, sex, safety, community.
What decreases happiness? Hunger, loneliness, fear.

See username. I could probably name a better bird for what I want, but hawk is literally right there. Not actually what it means in my username, but hey, if the shoe fits…
…as to why, it’s basically just flight.
And those eyes
This dove:
I wanna fly away.
A small and cute goat in a petting zoo. You get fed and you can headbutt people and kids to oblivion while everyone thinks it’s cute.
I guess if you want a plant that would be fair game.
In that case, I would choose a quaking aspen based on the specimen named Pando. I would have a vast array of sizes at my disposal, from as small as a single seed to as large as the 106 acres that Pando covers.
I want to escape from somewhere? Turn into a seed. I want to destroy an environment? Turn into a giant network of trees.
A raven doesn’t sound too bad. Can fly, smart, doesn’t really have a predator so I can explore the world at ease
smart won’t really matter. no real gotchas here so no matter what you would keep your normal intelligence and ego and such.
what would you do to cross oceans, plop down on a ship and travel along?
You can go back and forth between animal and human. Save on airline tickets by being an emotional support raven for someone and ride for free. No friend? Fine, buya human ticket and zhwooop, now and have a seat 5 times your size. Never wait in line to poop. Fill up with one meal. So awesome.
Plane crashes? Easy, just open a door as a human and transform in the air.
Raven is the winner.
I dunno I’ll try to befriend some nice sailors, most ppl are reasonably nice to ravens… Into the ocean is out of the question unfortunately
Bird. Daily commute will be fun.
Nobody said cats? I’m very disappointed. I’m going to comb my hair, look at you reproachfully, then go to sleep.
